FOR AIR AND GAS

Reliably dried air and gases at

low operating costs. Whether
the system is running conti-
nuously or intermittently. Even
at a high air flow rate. That is
the BAUER KOMPRESSOREN
SECCANT'S strong point.

Maintenance-free run-
ning for more economic
efficiency

The SECCANT regenerative

dryer effectively protects 3
pipelines and valves from
corrosion, icing and dirt.

Long running periods and 1

3
maintenance-free operation
make the application particu-
larly economical. 4

To achieve maximum effi-

ciency, the SECCANT is desi-
gned for continuous run-
ning.

Air/gas is constantly availa-

ble. Operational interrup-
tions due to changing filter
cartridges, which are
necessary with standard fil- 2
ter systems, are therefore
eliminated.
When running intermit-
tently, rinsing times are
not needed.

Regeneration merely needs a

partial stream of maximum
5% of the dried medium.

The pressure vessels are

designed and manufactured
according to most national
and international specifica-
tions for acceptance.

Optional: With the help of an

additional filter housing con-
taining activated carbon,
breathing air quality accor-
ding to DIN EN 12021 can be
obtained.

removes condensed water and
oil drops from the incoming
flow of air/gas.
3 The dryer chambers
are connected in a push-pull
operation. The incoming
air/gas flow is dried in the first
chamber (e.g in left fig.) using
a partial stream with already
dried air, the second chamber
is being regenerated (e.g in
right fig.).
The regenerating air is chan-
nelled through the charged
adsorption medium and rege-
nerates the adsorber with the
help of the partial decrease of
line pressure.
4 The change-over module
consists of main stream - as well
as regeneration stream check
valves and compensates the
pressure between the drying
chambers with a well desi-
gned change-over.

5 The filter housing
with activated carbon
removes oil vapour and
hydrocarbons from the
airflow.
The treated air corresponds
in quality to pure air in
accordance with
DIN EN 12021.

6 The particle filter
filters all particles from dried
and deoiled air. Subsequently
the air/gas flow is directed via
a pressure maintaining/check-
valve to the connected
systems.
7 The shut-off valve
for the regenerating air closes
during pressure compen-
sation and when the
SECCANT is switched off.
This allows a change-over
without pressure drop in
the system and stops the
humidity penetrating from
outside.
 THE B-CONTROL

Y O U R S E C C A N T ' S C O M M U N I C AT I O N C E N T R E

Continuous control main-

tains operational security

B-CONTROL fully automati-

cally monitors and controls
all SECCANT'S internal func-
tions like
- Operating hours
- Operating reports
- SECURUS (optional)
- Pressure dew point
(optional)
At the same time SECCANT'S
B-CONTROL communicates
with the compressor's respec-
tive unit control:
B-MESSENGER
informs online
the unit operator via SMS on
his/her mobile phone or
pager or via fax about all
important compressor data.
About pending maintenance
work, for example or with
models 3A and 4A about a
pending filter change.

At start and stop the com-

pressor unit sends SECCANT
an On/Off signal. SECCANT
permanently monitors itself
during operation and sends
the compressor a release
signal.

If a release signal is not

received, due to necessary 2
maintenance for example,
the compressor is automa-
tically stopped.

If the compressor unit is

equipped with a B-CONTROL
extended control and
connected to SECCANT via a
CAN-Bus, online control and
online monitoring of SECCANT
and the compressor unit can
be realised via an external
control room.
As an SPC control B-CONTROL
ensures the unit can be pro-
grammed according to custo- SECCANT 3 / 3A / 4 / 4A
mer requirements.

The appropriate configu-

ration for each purpose

The four models 3, 3A, VERTICUS / KAP Range

4 and 4A of BAUER'S
SECCANT range offer a
custom-made system solu-
tion for dehumidification
as well as purifying air,
inert gases and rare gases.

When wiring in the conven-

tional way up to three com-
pressors can be connected K 22 Range
to the SECCANT, when using
a CAN-Bus as many com-
pressors needed to obtain
the maximum delivery
quantity can be connected.

Interconnected operation
can be achieved with help
of the B-CONTROL using a
CAN-Bus.

K 23 Range
Two SECCANT and 2 com-
pressors can be installed in
crosswise operation. That
way, for maintenance mode
any combinations between
the connected compressors
and SECCANT are possible.

For strictly continuous

operation solutions, where
processes do not allow any
interruptions, there is also
the possibility of a combination
using a BAUER P range
bypass filter system. K 25/28 Range
